While I work towards refining my professional goal of creating assessments that align with inquiry-based instruction and learning, I find myself still drawn towards more traditional ways of assessing student learning. One vice I have revisited is google forms. I recently gave students a quiz through google forms and I still marvel at how instant and useful the data is when it comes to helping me re-teach a topic. I couldn't wait for more students to complete their quiz, so I could check the results. These types of quizzes lend more towards a "traditions;" style of formative and summative assessments, but I find they are too useful to cut them out of my plans. The hardest part, I find, is figuring out an interesting way for students to get more practice with a concept, once we have already spent some time on it. The 40% of students that need the additional exposure to the topic, along side the 60% of students that showed true understanding previously, having to work together to share their perspectives once again becomes a bit of a challenge. I am looking into planning rotation stations to help solve these predicaments, creating some challenge activities, and some basic concepts building and practice.
